Whithah Mystique? Withah Aura?

Doug:
I love this Damon soundbite going into Saddadee's must-win game for the Yankees, "We have to remember who we are and what we are about as a team."

 

---

Bill:
Yep, and did the Yankees evah come out and show exactly what they're are about as a team and have been about for years now: The shiznit choke jobbahs.

 

---

Doug:
Wait, wait, there's more. After being eliminated Damon says, "We still are the best team. The best team doesn't always win"

 

---

Bill:
Ah, the tales told by idiots.

 

---

Doug:
Yeah, sorry, Johnny, the so-called best teams do not go 20 consecutive innings without scoring in the playoffs.

 

---

Bill:
And puh-leeze, puh-leeze, puh-leeze King George, hire Lou Piniella as skippah to replace Torre.

 

---

Doug:
Absolutely. The Yankees are already wound up tightah than Kim Jong Il so, I got it, let's bring in the bat shitiest of all the bat shit managahs to, you know, chill things the fuck out.

 

---

Bill:
Meanwhile, memo to Theo: Just because the Yankees crapped in their pinstripes again doesn't mean you're off the hook for your evah growing oeuvre of managerial brainfahts, mmm-kay?

It was a disappointing end for this Yanks fan, but fortunately for me I wasn't able to watch the games so I didn't agonize through it.

I don't think Torre should go, but I have a lot of Monday morning manager questions about his moves for the last four weeks. I also don't think A-Rod should go, because he would probably kick ass on the Angels.

The Yankees need exactly what they've needed the past two seasons. A few more big expensive bats. Just kidding.. they need starting pitching. Until they've got it, they're going to have a tough time in any best of five or best of seven series.

...I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that the Yankees most recent failures sting their fans far, far worse than what we feel with the Sox being also rans and finishing in 3rd.
And that, my friends, makes me smile ear to ear.

Cheers.

I wonder how Sheff's going to look wearing red socks.

shef and or mussina....gasp!!!

What's more scary ... Sheff batting against the Sox or Sheff in the Red Sox dugout?

"And this is the street corner where Hugh Grant..."
"Eeew"
"...filmed a scene from 'Nine Months'"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW"

I'll take Moose, but I could never cheer Shitfield.

In my opinion, the best part of the (most recent) MFY playoff collapse has been watching all of the fans scrambling for any and every excuse that could possibly be imagined. My simple answer to their cries: I guess $1 billion dosen't buy what it used to. Unfortunately (depending on your viewpoint), the sole bastion of class and respect will have to be big stein's sacrifical lamb. I can't wait to see how coddled superstars react going from the grace-under-fire of Joe to the rip-off-your-head-and-piss-down-your-neck madness that is sweet lou.

h.b.,

Just signed on, on the west coast, and loved your response to "jim". My 1" is turning into a "creeper" just thinking about the Spankees losing to the Tigers. How appropos (sp?) is Wall of Voodoo's "Lost Weekend" running through my head as I think of disillusioned Skankee fans everywhere?

hb, technically if you're writing in dialect, there should be an "r" at the end of "Aura".

You might be right, though, in my own experience, the so-called "intrusive r" is only added when the word following begins with a vowel. In this case of the title, "aura" becomes a full stop as no word follows.

But your mileage, or rather, accent may vary :)

the happiest guy in the yankee dugout when georgie hit the meaningless homer in the 9th...you guessed it..slappy blue lips.

GREAT Yank-a-holix post! One of your best yet, H.B. Or should it the name be change to H.S. (Hart Stolen)?
